Capcom Fighting Evolution

[sithlordx]

Ill be buying it not played it yet, so nothing to lose.

3rd strike Chun-Li = ACES!!

I cannot find the game in my town! And I have phoned all the game shops.
Amazon says it is published by EA and available in one or 2 weeks.
But I have seen Moodmon on the live on this game. Moodmon which version of the game do you play?
If it is the European Version, how much did it cost?

I have read that only one guy has bought this game (European Version)too today on another forum.

[Fuddle]

i got it today too.
its not published by EA.
?20 from game, but it took a bt of finding....wasnt on their shelves at all, the guy had to go upstarirs to find their only copy.

[Moodmon]

Ah, bit late >_<

I pre-ordered it from the Game online shop, and it came Thursday, so I was busy trying to find anyone on Live. Gave up. Decided to try to unlock Shin Akuma. HG8&$&RNE!

Yes, he's the bad to play against. In SP his lp lp -> lk hp teleport grab thing is an instant kill, but not online. And the game is much improved from the PS2 version. The AI in single player in that was terribly broken, but it's much better on the Xbox.

[MadMarc]

I finally got it. But I only found it in Germany. Only 5 copies of the game in this big shop and a load of F-Zero GP Legend for 14?.

It is difficult to adapt to the Capcom Fighting Jam gameplay after 4600 matches on Third strike. Yun seems useless without his Genei-Jin but it is better than the Yun CVS2. Ryu does too much damage, he seems to have lost his Tatsumaki Senpu-Kyaku (if I spell it correctly). And naturally he is the character the most taken on Xbox Live.
I don't understand what MP+MK does for Red/Warzard characters. I must find a good character to beat the traditionnal Ryu players. The SFA and SFIII characters seem useless but fun to play.
The game is faster than Third Strike. In the Arcade Mode, I always have difficulty at the couple of characters before Pyron, in any difficulty setting.

I hope that more players will find and play this game online.

[Goemon]

Yep,

Got this today too...
I've just been reading up and the dreaded Shin Akuma is in there ;(

They better not have made him too over powerful or live games will become a bore!

Feels a little bit ropey, no where near a slick as SF3 but it is it seems like it could be fun, I look forward to seeing you guys online!

[Jakeway]

I have also bought it, but really cant get into it.

[Moodmon]

There's an option to turn off the secret characters (like Akuma and Pyron) when searching and setting up Live games, so don't worry about it. Can't really do a lot about Ryu, few hits and you are toast (but it's the same for all SF2 peeps). Having said that, Shin Shoryuken has to be avoided at all costs, along with Big Z's Final Atomic Buster. Mind, if some idiot tries to fireball or sonic boom spam, go Felicia. Her fireball motion spin uppercut goes right under them. Or just cheese them with Anarkis

Played the game online for about 50 matches, and it runs flawless, the only bit of lag i saw was on the win screen.

I know it doesnt look as slick as SF3, or CvS2 for that matter, because of the wide arrange of games the characters come from, and some of them fit in with eachother, and some just plainly look too out of place, but the game is fun to play. As ive stated before, the music and the backgrounds for the most part are excellent. (hate the char select music though)

So far, the characters online that are mostly used are Ryu and Guile, but, they are not exactly top tier. I would have a hard time thinking of which character people would whore to get gauranteed wins...this is because every character on the roster has some form of "skank" that they can use. Although...the general opinion is that Anakaris and Jedah are the kings of this game...although tbh, with Anakaris you have to work for your win.

The game auto signs you in btw, so any of you lot using modded xbox's should prolly be aware of this. With this though, you can go off into practice mode\arcade mode and recieve an invite while playing through them, then a quick press of the Start button, you can instantly accept the invite and play online.

Shin Gouki and Pyron are selectable online (bosses)...but you can turn them off from the matchmaking options. Also, they are pretty ****. So if you do come across someone using them...4 hits will kill Shin Gouki...but that doesnt mean that he cant rush you down and beat you, just wait for a mistake...4 hits, the win is yours.

Has a great varied cast imo, so those of you who want some new obscure players to learn, CFJ is for you. Makes a nice change from 3s for me, as ive been caining that for quite some time...8000+ matches played. o_O;;;

[MadMarc]

Hey Moodmon, why did you disconnect? We have not finished our match.
It was the final round when the game said at the blue screen that you disconnected.

[jassi singh]

Its a bug that disconnects the game, that if you look at your friends list at certain points of the game (such as loading up a new round etc) the game will desynch and crash.

:/

[Moodmon]

Might have been. It got slow for a bit, got to the final round, then crashed. Said "couldn't sync with host" so prob. Must remember not to look at friends list in future :S

[jassi singh]

Been playing this online for a week or so, and im really enjoying it. Good break for 3s and other fighters such as T5. Glad to finnally play against someone using Guy ^_^ LP, MP, HP, HK! \o/ KO!

Anyway, at first you will be dissapointed, but underneath is a real cool game if you play it with good people who dont make it boring choosin same characters. Thing is...even though one char maybe cheap against a particular character...there is always a counter character to stop the bull****. XD Mainly, everyone in the game has nasty bull**** to counter eachother out. I LOVE IT.

Also, heres the cool artwork done by Udon for the endings for each of the characters in the game.


Street Fighter 2



Street Fighter III: Third Strike



Street Fighter Zero




Darkstalkers




Red Earth
